The lowest point was when they introduced the fucking Sabre thing. Yeah it'd been chugging along for a while, but that piece of shit plot change was goddamn terrible and worst, it went nowhere. Everything they did with it was awful.

The worst part of that was just how much screen time they gave Andy. I like Ed Helms, I really do, but that characters was one huge vacuum. There was nothing there, ever. He was badly written and never should've become as important as he did.

And when did it get better, for me? When Andy disappeared for an eternity. After that it was just so much better. Not as good as it had been, but watchable.

Anyway. I'll be glad to see it's over, though I'll definitely miss the characters. It was a fun trip to take with so many weirdos.

My daughter graduates from high school in two days and one of my favorite tv shows is ending. This is just too much change all at once. In the words of Michael Scott "This is gonna hurt like a mother f*cker".

I don't watch it anymore, I can only hate watch one formerly beloved sitcom at a time (HIMYM, you TROLL). But there was a long time that no other group of people made me cackle and smile as much as these office drones. I'll watch the finale.

I too wished the show had finished when Michael left, and the show quickly became a hatewatch for me after, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. Now I wish I could stop tonight from ever coming because I'm not ready to say goodbye to the last eight years of Thursday nights. I'm just not ready.

But, since I can't even delay the inevitable, at least I can hope that Michael Scott will make one last appearance. It would simultaneously rip apart my heart and make me whole again.

That last gif is glorious.

I stopped watching as soon as Catherine Tate came on board. I have never regretted that decision.

I do however, regret that there is no picture available of La Famille Klingonfree because I shall forever see them in my mind's eye as bobbleheads.

Regardless of the quality of the last few seasons, it will always have a special place in my heart. Kind of like LOST.

In my family we have discussions/arguments about who is the most morally corrupt character. Granted, we stopped watching when Spader arrived because I love Spader and I knew it would suck he was on the Office, so I didn't. And plus, yeah, just ennui, so I don't know the pain of those last seasons. BUT (to the point!) we agree it is a tossup among Ryan the Fuckhead, Stanley the Wretched Loathsome Beat and Angela the Sociopathic HellBitch.

We also agree hands-downdowndown that Dwight is the most memorable, balls-out, iconic, funniest character ever. That actor just got in character and NEVER LEFT. We all have Dwight bobbleheads...which I realize as I write this, is just sad-ish. Wait. I meant we have the toy bobblehead. Not that our heads are Dwight bobbleheads. That would be weird. WeirdER, I should say.

I just revealed way more than I wanted to about my family.

The more I read your comments, the more I am looking forward to Little J becoming a teenager because your family discussions sound AWESOME!

Needless to say I cannot wait till they are old enough to watch Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad.

I'm glad it's finally ending, but i'm also going to miss it. It was my favorite comedy on TV for many years. I can still rewatch season 2 through 4 forever and always laugh my ass off. Season 1 and 5 were also great, but the ones after that was really hit and miss. Mostly miss. Like everyone else i feel like the show should have ended when Michael left, but i still tune in every time it's on. Maybe it's because i still have a crush on Pam...

Yeah. Webcam girls have it good. They only have to stick a pineapple up their ass to earn that money, but you're right. We all benefit.

I too felt the show should have ended with Michael's departure, and haven't watched an episode since. Everybody keeps telling me the last few weeks have been amazing and The Office has gotten its quirky rhythm back, but I just couldn't.

However, tonight I will be watching starting with the Retrospective at 8 p.m. Hope they deliver, hope they make me cry, hope to see Michael one more time. Should I watch though last week's ep beforehand?

Tinkerville

Definitely watch last week's beforehand. You won't regret it. It had me sobbing in the best of ways and slapped tourniquets on all the bleeding messes the past couple of seasons caused.
